Background
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) currently operates 18 HC-144B aircraft. The HC-144B is manufactured by Airbus Military (formerly EADS CASA) based in Seville, Spain. The base CASA CN-235M aircraft provides the foundation for the HC-144B. Changes to the base aircraft configuration and supplementary system additions have resulted in the CG01 version of the CN-235M, the USCG HC-144B Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The present Coast Guard plans call for the operation of 18 aircraft, totaling approximately 21, 600 flight hours per year; however, the end-state fleet size remains under review.
These aircraft operate differently from general aviation as they support USCG Search and Rescue (SAR), surveillance, and reconnaissance missions. HC-144B missions require frequent operation at lower altitudes and in salt-laden environments, accelerating corrosion on airframe structures and components.
The HC-144B is equipped with two General Electric CT7-9C3 turboprop engines, each attached to a propeller gearbox (P/N 775800/5074T51) driving a Hamilton Sundstrand Standard 14RF-37 four-blade, variable-pitch propeller. The Coast Guard has experienced higher than anticipated mean time between failure (MTBF) rates and associated engine overhaul costs, necessitating this study to identify potential engine retrofit options.

The USCG is seeking information from sources who can provide technical, cost and schedule information for potential HC-144B Non-Developmental Item (NDI) aircraft engine systems retrofit solutions that comply with Federal Aviation Regulation FAR Part 23. The information obtained will be used to develop a strategy to maximize operational effectiveness and minimize tot...
